Ok I need some help, I'm 16 days post op incisions and healed, walking everyday,off liquids as of Friday ,cleared to do arm&leg workouts,I drink 60-90 OSS of Protein, and 5 23 oz of Water, plus Popsicles,cottage cheese and stuff,so I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do, but for the last two days the pain of my left side returns every now and again.it started after Thursday, after I finished my walk felt like something inside had dropped and hanging,no very little pain on Friday when I finished walking.but yesterday evening the pain was so intense ,but not constant .if I took a step it hurt if I moved a certain way pain ,it's seemed really deep inside,nothing like the pain from the surgery.im having regular BM, does anyone have a clue to what this pain MIGHT be,? I'm open to all suggestions .... Oh right now no pain soooooo strange ;(

Sounds like something worth asking your doctor about, even though it sounds like a non-emergency. They would be able to tell you if it's something to be concerned about or if there were other signs of possible problems to look for. You're not that far out and that is what they are there for.

Aside from that it sounds like you are doing awesome! I'm having trouble getting all my fluids... and Protein? I'm not even close on that! The taste of the powder, or even the THOUGHT of the powder, is grossing me out. I'm finding food smells pretty unappealing right now, too. How are you getting all your Protein?

The closest costco is in Stoughton MA. I'm bored this week, maybe I'll take a drive up there. What kind of place is it? :-)

costco? It's a giant warehouse with everything you can imagine in it but in bulk,electronics,food,clothing,wine,beer,fresh seafood,pastry dept. ,gas station,tires dept, gearing, eyeglasses,furniture,plants,pharmacy,pet supplies outdoor patio stuff,also a ice parlor and restaurant . All costco are not created equal I've been to several in different states,but the ones in the Pacfic Northwest where the headquarter is located is the creme' de la creme' . Here where I live in texas is pretty grand too. Just be prepared to spend more than you thought lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
